Not to be crass, but don’t they think it’s a little late to tell people NOT to serve or eat fresh strawberries sold as far back as March 5th? Unless you froze them, these berries would have been long consumed by now, they wouldn’t stay fresh for one to two and a half months.

The FDA warning is for frozen (they suggest throwing them out).
I think it’s more of a heads up because Hepatitis A symptoms happen from 15 to 50 days out.

@ctujackbauer think you misunderstood my post. I said UNLESS you froze them, most people would have long ago consumed them. Didn’t say having froze them made them safe to eat.

Saul Goodman. I was agreeing with you - fresh strawberries would have expired, frozen strawberries the FDA is recommending to discard them.
